Hi here. I am still very new to glass fusing and have a Hotstart Pro Skutt kiln. I have has some lovely successess with Bullseye glass but now I have been given a large amount of new float glass. I eventually gained the confidence to unlock the advanced programmes on the kiln a few weeks ago but I cannot find a programme that fuses the glass completely and I am not confident enough to make my own yet. The nearest I have found is this in farenheight:
1. 500/hr to 1000 10 min hold
2. 500/hr to 1725 60 min hold
3. 9999/hr to 1025 15 min hold
4. 9999/hr to 1000 30 min hold
5. 9999/hr to 950 45 min hold
I used copper oxide between 2 x 3mm 8inch circles and the copper powder actually reacted this time with this setting and the glass started to round the edges but it was still visable where I broke the glass in the middle prior to putting it in the kiln and the outside edges needed a lot more work. All the other firings I have tried for float glass merely tack fuse. Pease could someone tell me which parts I should increase as I really dont know where to start?
Thank you for your time.
